I look at each episode in two ways - from a design standpoint and from an entertainment standpoint - this is TV, after all. We usually succeed on at least one of the levels.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Pretty much every show that comes on, I'll try to watch at least one episode of it. For me, there are three different levels. I watch the first episode, and if I love it, I'm lockin' it in for the rest of the season. If I'm not too sure about it, I will maybe tune in the next week. It it's just terrible, then I'm done.
When we make the show, we are always talking about how the show is really in between what we make and what the viewer thinks of it.
You know, it takes a while to get used to - it's a whole group of people with all these ideas and after you sort of navigate your way through the first few episodes it becomes collaborative and creative.
I still feel driven to try to make great shows and to make each episode great.
The greatest preparation for a TV show is to already have one season behind you.
Every show finds its groove, I would say. The first season is the season to figure out the dynamics, the workflow.
Each show comes with its own set of problems to work through.
I think it's a very ephemeral thing, what makes a show a success.
I just focus on one show, when this is over then I'll start looking at what is coming up.
I'm a regular part of the TV audience world, and I know that I like shows that I would watch. And this is a series that I definitely would watch. And some episodes are better than others.
